A deliciously simple, colourful salad with bite-size balls of fresh mozzarella, homemade ramsons pesto and rocket leaves that can be made in a jiffy. They are ideal as a great finger food or a side salad for barbecue meat.

- 15 Bocconcini Mozzarella balls
- 3 tbsp Ramsons pesto
- 1 tsp Lemon peel, grated
- Salt and freshly mulled black pepper
- Rocket leaves to serve
- Cut a thin slice off the top of each cocktail tomato. Scoop out and discard pulp. Sprinkle the cups with a bit of salt and drain.
- Drain the bocconcini and place them in a bowl. Add in ramsons pesto, lemon peel and freshly mulled black pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Arrange the rocket leaves on a serving plate. Fill the tomato cups with prepared bocconcini and place them on the serving plate.

I love the presentation!
wow looks cute :), looks like a lot of work has been done to make it but yet so simple and easy :)
What a simple and genius idea!
What a pretty salad (or appetizer). i actually have a tool to remove the pulp from cherry tomatoes as I often stuff them with guacamole. Do you cut the mozzarella to get it into the tomato? Great flavors here.
Oh, these are so fun and bright...and the perfect flavor combination. I could just pop a few in my mouth right now!
What a pretty presentation, these look like the perfect appetizer for spring and summer!
They look cute and delicious! Do they stand up okay or do they tend to fall down? Either way, I totally want some!
Mmmm..mini tomatoes with mozzarella cheese and pesto. You can't get any more Italian then that! Delicious looking appetizer.
Simple, gorgeous and delicious! This is a winner!
So cute! What a great idea.
What a great appetizer for a party...too cute! Healthy, delicious what more could you ask for. I'm wondering what Ramsons is? I have never heard of it.
Thanks- Paulie
